Here's how to restore the View Image entry in Firefox right click menu for images.

In Firefox 88, Mozilla has silently removed a number of context menu entries. Speaking of the View Image option, it has been replaced with an "open image in a new tab" entry. The team behind the browser assumes that most users will be happy with the new item that opens the image you right-click on in a new tab. However, some users prefer the old behavior of the browser with the ability to open images in the current tab.

Yesterday, Mozilla released a new version of the Firefox browser. Firefox 88 is now available in the stable branch, with a number of improvements and changes. We covered the official change log, however, there is a change in the browser that was not announced and was left behind the scenes.

Firefox 88 is already here, and you can download this new version of the popular browser. In a few hours the update will be rolled out to existing app users. The release is relatively minor. It includes mostly general improvements and security fixes. There are also a few notable visual changes.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) follows Adobe Flash on being kicked out of modern browsers. Mozilla Foundation announced the upcoming removal of this ancient protocol in Firefox 88 and Firefox 90.

Mozilla Foundation has made some changes to its release calendar to give users more time to test the next major update. Currently, every big update goes through a four-week testing period before moving to the next branch and then to the stable channel. With Firefox 89, things are changing a bit.

The team behind the Firefox browser has changed their plans on Compact Density removal from customization options. The browser will continue to include Compact Mode, but it will be hidden by default, and tagged as "not supported" when you enable the option.

Firefox 87 is available for download. The release focuses on privacy and usability improvements. Here are the key changes.
